I’m very interested in getting PSV license. May I know what is the fee for attending the 2 or 3 days course?I’m stay at Batu Caves, can you recommend the nearby driving instructor to me?Hope that can get your reply soon. Thank you

If your business is legally registered and you have got the authorities permission and your vehicle has undergone all the necessary tests / inspection, then your PSV badge can be used as a means to drive the van. Also do not forget the necessary insurance needed. All in all, it’s a long and tedious process.

A registered hotel should see to it that its clients are transported using proper registered vehicles which has insurance coverage and so forth. It’s important your drivers have the necessary PSV documents also.

I need to understand more on company employees van. Why should we need to apply the license? May I have more details about why we must apply license for our company van when we carry our employees from home to factory and from factory back to home?

A company is a business entity carrying out a certain trade. Company vehicles, if they are intended to be used as a means to transport its workers or personnel is required by law by the Road Transport Department (RTD) to obtain its permission first before it is used to ferry passengers.

The vehicle mentioned above will have to undergo Puspakom inspections, followed by 6 monthly inspections there after. The inspection ensure that the vehicle is in excellent condition thereby ensuring the safety of workers transported.

Such vehicles should have the company’s logo, company’s name and address embossed on its door panels. Besides these, proper insurance has also be obtained.

Furthermore, such vehicles will also bear Puspakom inspection disc on its front windscreen.The vehicles are also expected to have safety medical kits, a fire extinguisher and emergency triangle. The above are all the requirements which the Land and Transport Authority (SPAD) expects.

Finally, the vehicle can only be driven by drivers possesses PSV badges. I hope this detailed explanation provided above will make you aware of the differences between an ordinary van as compared to one that has undergone the RTD approval. The one that has the RTD’s blessing in short, is therefore legal.

My company vans eventhough have the company logo, address, etc does not need to go through puspakom inspection. We renew the road tax yearly. Are thse vans considered as commercial ? Do the drivers still need the PSV badge ?

Dear Sir,
The abovementioned “To pass the 50 questions objective test conducted at the end of the course, you will need 42 marks. Assuming that you also passed the practical test, then you would have passed the entire exam.” What do you mean by “practical test”? Is it by JPJ or by the school itself? I am a E FULL holder. I want to apply both GDL and PSV license. My friends said GDL just need objective test, whereas PSV need practical test. I am quite confused now.

Would like to know if one has a valid GDL license, what is the procedure to apply for a PSV license? If there is a need to attend courses for the PSV, can you please recommend me a driving school in PJ that offers this course.

Dear Kevin, As explained to others who like to operate a transport service, it should be duly registered with the JPJ. Failing which, your attempts will be met by drastic actions by the authorities. TO run an illegal transporting students is just not worth the effort.

Hi.
I wanted to know, that how to apply for school bus permit in Malaysia johor.
I’m planning to buy school bus and start my business.
Are there got any procuders need to be done?
What is the requirements for applying permit?

Your idea will face numerous problems from the authorities. Personally, I have yet hear about anyone successfully modifying a bus to become a home yet. Your idea is feasible, mini bus needs only D license only.

I have a few questions after doing some googling but I cant find the answers: –

i) Let say I would like to operate a limousine (currently my own car), it is of course I have to obtain the PSV license, assume that part is clear from your detailed explanation in the article. My question is: how do I start about getting the car to be registered with the relevant authorities (JPJ/SPAD etc) and how many are there?

ii) is there a regulation where the car can only be commercial? I mean, I don’t see private limousines out there (like those Alphard, Vellfire) has their company name/logo, addresses displayed at the door panels.

iii) can my current privately-owned car be used (or converted) to operate limousine service?

Hi, I am a Uber driver. Latest T&C requires us to have a PSV license. Does it mean we have to paint our cars and put stickers like taxis once we get a PSV license? Uber is really a ride-sharing service so we are using personal cars. Any idea?

Firstly, I am uncertain if Uber cars are illegal or not. To transport passengers, you obviously require a PSV license. Whether you need to put u a stickers and be painted like taxi is something you’ll have to ask the Road Transport Department.
